Fishing with an artificial light stimulus has existed for thousands of years. It started with
simple techniques such as burning a large fire on the beach to attract fish, but over the …

Teleosts are the largest and most diverse group of vertebrates, and many species undergo
morphological, physiological, and behavioral transitions,“metamorphoses,” as they progress …

Flatfish have the most extreme asymmetric body morphology of vertebrates. During
metamorphosis, one eye migrates to the contralateral side of the skull, and this migration is …

In most teleosts, metamorphosis encompasses a dramatic post-natal developmental process
where the free-swimming larvae undergo a series of morphological, cellular and …

This study investigated and compared asymmetry in sagittal otolith shape and length
between left and right inner ears in four roundfish and four flatfish species of commercial …

Otolith shape analysis is an efficient fish stock identification tool. However, most applications
used left and right otoliths or only one of them arbitrarily chosen without testing for biases …

Development of a head is a dazzlingly complex process: a number of distinct cellular
sources including cranial ecto-and endoderm, mesoderm and neural crest contribute to …

The most asymmetrically shaped and behaviorally lateralized of all the vertebrates, the
flatfishes are an endless source of fascination to all fortunate enough to study them …

Flatfish metamorphosis is a unique post-embryonic developmental event in which thyroid
hormones (THs) drive the development of symmetric pelagic larva into asymmetric benthic …

Abstract Background The common sole (Solea solea) is a promising candidate for European
aquaculture; however, the limited knowledge of the physiological mechanisms underlying …
